QUEEN OF THE PARKS CAMPAIGN RECEIVES MORE ENDORSEMENTSSupport Reflects the Issues Championed by the Hamilton Campaign

In a testament to the diversity and wide-spread support for her Queen of the Parks campaign, Jamie Lee Hamilton running for the Vancouver board of parks and recreation, over the weekend received the support of a high profile environmentalist, Damian Kettlewell, deputy leader of the BC Green party, Darren Bruce, Mr Gay Canada and a young professional couple, Ann Takagi and Colin Topham, who are newer residents to the Downtown Eastside.

Previous announced high-profile endorsers include former Mayor of Vancouver, Philip Owen, Little Sister co-owner and community hero, Jim Deva, Deputy Green party leader of Canada, Adriane Carr, prominent businessman, Mark James, former Member of Parliament for Vancouver-East, Art Lee and President and CEO of Movie Set Inc, Colleen Nystedt.

"I am excited that my campaign has attracted such a wide diversity of support from notable and average Vancouver citizens alike. Our politicians often do not reflect a true representative of the diversity of our City. Our campaign, I believe is a testament to us connecting with the citizens of this great City and it demonstrates the appeal we have. These endorsements reflect the support of issues brought forward by my campaign and I'm absolutely honoured and blessed to receive them ", states Jamie Lee Hamilton.
